Why (Even If You're Not for Non-Human Rights) You Should UN-OCCUPY Big-Ag

Animal-Ag stooges--exorbitantly paid ex-legislators
and staffers, now lobbyists--supporting the inhumane treatment of
non-humans by employing lies and manipulation to create hysteria and
garner public support; with the goal of demonizing and discrediting
others who would challenge the brutal concentration camp system of
factory "farms," have only ONE agenda -- personal greed. They forfeited
their right to credibility when they sold out to the highest bidder,
choosing self interest and obscene profits over the best interests of
the public they swore to serve. They vigorously abandoned any semblance
of morals in order to facilitate lying, stealing, cheating, torturing
and murdering to maintain the endless flow of blood-soaked largesse
expanding their own bank accounts, via grateful corporate rapists.

What most of these self-proclaimed "experts" on animal rights actually
know about the movement could fit on the head of a pin. They have not
bothered to educate themselves because they are in the "business" of
animal exploitation; they could care less about non-human OR human
suffering, the costs to the environment, public safety or ultimately,
the deadly consequences to their own children.

They will tell
you that animal rights activists care more about animals than they do
people. They consistently set up ridiculous, accusatory, either/or
scenarios. [Save the dog, let the child drown.] In their minds,
people cannot advocate equally for both humans and non-humans. One
wonders if they realize they possess the innate ability to both walk AND
talk simultaneously.

The truth is, many animal rights
activists have spent lifetimes giving of themselves and their resources
to the human beings in their lives; as well as volunteering within their
communities to help the poor, hungry, homeless and anyone else in need
which crosses their path. This is because individuals possessing genuine
compassion and empathy cannot turn it on and off like a faucet,
compartmentalizing who is deserving of their support and sympathy,
versus who they will unceremoniously trash as being unworthy. When one
cares deeply about suffering and injustice it naturally flows into every
part of their existence. Attempting to correct the outlandishly cruel
treatment of non-humans, who have zero ability to advocate for
themselves, is simply an extension of that creed of fairness. Individual
ethics, morals and striving for an ever higher level of personal
enlightenment is often the driving force behind animal rights activism.
And those making their fortunes off of the torture and murder of the
helpless, have yet to realize that this movement will continue
regardless of their highly nefarious tactics in attempting to crush it.

The real "radicals" are the corporations and their lackeys who write
legislation [Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act] which muzzles and
criminalizes free speech, labeling those distributing pamphlets on
public sidewalks, terrorists, and locking them away far longer than
actual violent offenders; or who use the FBI to infiltrate vegan
potlucks, inventing their own terrorist plots in an attempt to entrap
peaceful individuals whose only crime is choosing a non-violent
diet/lifestyle.

They will tell you that the animal rights
movement is based on extremist ideologies -- though nothing could be
more "extreme" than the perennial, forced subjugation, torture and
murder of sensitive beings. They proclaim the goal of animal rights
activists is to completely abolish animal "ownership." Even though
common sense dictates that domesticated animals are here to stay, and it
is complete nonsense to believe that the animal rights movement is
focused on ridding people of non-human companions.

Animal
terrorists take the view that one has the right to "own" other living
beings, with all that egregiously implies. By its nature the term
imparts tyrannical powers. A license to dominate which disregards the
most basic needs, desires and feelings of its victims.

They
refuse to conceive of a world where ALL living flesh and blood,
regardless of species, are entitled to certain basic rights. The truth
is, for those who "get it," who truly respect non-humans, they already
understand it is morally repugnant to view them as property. One "owns"
inanimate objects. Furniture, cars, homes. If someone were to say they
"owned" their children, they would rightfully invoke the wrath and
disgust of most rational people. One is guardian to their children.
Non-human members of society should be considered no differently under
the law.

Courts appoint guardians--not owners--for minors. Yet,
those who are equally as defenseless against exploitation are still at
the mercy of barbaric, archaic laws which have been on the books for
centuries. Non-humans remain the most maligned, disenfranchised majority
of sentient individuals on the planet; flatly dismissed and
contemptuously objectified to the point of invisibility on one hand, and
yet of crucial importance to man's very survival on the other. The
schizophrenic way in which society views and treats non-humans is a
mind-bending, disgraceful abomination.

Among one of the most
monumental lies told by Big-Ag to consumers, is that animal profiteers
treat their charges [merchandise] well. They claim, "Our No. 1 priority
has to be the health and well-being of our animals." But the flood of
undercover videos shot inside animal-ag hellholes bears witness to
something quite different. Big-Ag, which claims such stellar respect for
animals, has launched a plethora of fascist legislation in several
states--so called "ag-gag" laws--which criminalize First Amendment
rights, not only for those filming the industry's rampant abuse, but for
those publishing the footage; ample proof that Big-Ag is intent on
hiding their criminal behavior and silencing the public's right to know
how their "food" is produced. AR activists have exposed their lies for
the sheer propaganda it is; meant to maintain the status quo and
continue the uninterrupted flow of mega-profits by any means necessary.

There is now indisputable proof that "farm" animals are
routinely terrorized and brutally assaulted: beaten with pipes, attacked
with axes and hatchets, raped with foreign objects, kicked as they
scream and moan in agony, hanged by their necks, suffocated as their
chests and airways are trampled and compressed, repeatedly slammed
against walls and denied the most basic necessities -- nutritious food,
potable water and clean, adequate living areas. Disease-ridden from
diets full of chemical gruel, they are bloated with growth hormones and
antibiotics meant to keep them hanging on just until slaughter. These
sensitive souls languish in the squalor of cramped, ammonia-soaked,
feces-laden spaces littered with the decomposing and maggot-ridden
bodies of their family members. The acrid stench from factory farm
hellholes carries for miles. The pollution which floods streams, rivers
and seeps into aquifers, leaving the lands it flows onto, unusable toxic
waste sites, is the reality of intensive animal agriculture which these
true purveyors-of-terror try desperately to hide.

Mad cow
disease, caused by feeding bovines--strict herbivores--the body parts of
other cows, is but one example of how profiteers "care" about
non-humans. Decomposing flesh [already on hand in abundance] ground
into feed is infinitely cheaper than providing their natural diet of
grasses. The Avian and Swine flu outbreaks had similar origins as
crowded, filthy conditions and diets incorporating rotting corpses into
those animals' feed has now become standard practice. Mass contamination
from E-Coli, Salmonella and Listeria are killing more and more people
every year. Profit--not compassion and not ethics--has always been the
bottom line and always will be, unless and until the public rejects such
a monstrous system of destruction, abuse and disease.

Animal
terrorists and the lobbyists/legislators who lie and whore for them in
order to continue a never-ending, unbridled assault on non-humans, must
at last, be held accountable. If justice will not come from the courts
redefining non-humans as sentient beings, deserving of basic legal
considerations, then it must come from the public. Consumers must wake
up and realize that animal exploiters DO NOT have their best interests
at heart. PROFIT is number ONE. People must take back their power and
refuse to support industries which are killing humans and our planet via
the saccharin promotion of a rapacious, deadly, rampantly diseased,
animal-based food supply.

A system so corrupt that it
victimizes society from cradle to grave. First by brainwashing and
indoctrinating the public into believing the murderous lies that the
human body needs dairy [which studies have found leaches calcium from
bones and accelerates tumor growth, among numerous other deadly
consequences] and flesh products [which put the body into protein
overload, causing progressive kidney damage as well as heart disease,
cancer and an ever-growing list of life-threatening conditions].

Those who are prematurely sick and dying as a result of animal-based
diets are then victimized and scammed a second time; by putting their
faith into the standard allopathic treatments utilizing cut, burn and
poison. This, when there is solid, scientific, evidence that plant-based
diets can completely reverse non-genetic heart disease, many cancers
and reverse or ameliorate Type II diabetes.

Those raking in
billions of dollars per year, not only in animal agriculture, but animal
research, where behemoth taxpayer grants support repetitive, frivolous,
inane and often fraudulent "research," wasting billions of animal
lives and killing/maiming millions of humans each year, don't want the
public to know that the majority of the diseases afflicting them can be
completely avoided, reversed or greatly lessened by a plant-based diet.
For them, the gravy train would be over and the Mercedes parked in the
driveway, repossessed; the mansion foreclosed upon.

For those
of you who value your lives, if not the rights and lives of non-humans,
don't let those who are killing you, occupy your wallet and your table.

I'm pretty low-key and decidedly uncomfortable with sharing self-aggrandizing accreditations. My writing speaks for itself and those who find my opinions of worth will do so regardless of my background. My bio was 'flagged' for not giving a history, (more...)
